There will be no World Indoor Championship history for Tobi Amusan, as Ese Brume remains Nigeria's only medal hopeful and Ruth Usoro also missing from entry list.
Team Nigeria will head to the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow in the absence of African Record (AR) holder Tobi Amusan and will now majorly rely on Ese Brume to hopefully fly the country's flag on the podium.
Amusan pulled out of competing at the championship taking place from March 1st - 3rd, meaning she won't be gunning for another history-making moment by winning another world medal.

The World Record holder started the indoor season brightly by breaking Glory Alozie's women's 60m Hurdles AR of 7.82s with a new 7.77s, then lowered it to 7.75s, thus placing her as one of the major medal contenders at the world indoor championships.

Tobi Amusan reveals conditions if she's to run at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow
Will Tobi Amusan be running at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow? Well, she has revealed the conditions if she's to compete for another world title.
Surprisingly, Amusan not being included on the World Athletics entered list by countries confirms her exclusion from the championship.
Tobi Amusan misses a chance to make history
With her exclusion, Amusan will miss the opportunity of going for the indoor title and becoming Nigeria's first world indoor and outdoor champion.
Also, she had a great chance of medalling, which would have made her the third Nigerian woman after Alozie and Ese Brume to win a medal at the world indoor championship.

Finally, she had raised hopes of having the first Nigerian female champion indoors after the late Sunday Bada and Olusoji Fasuba claimed the 400m and 60m titles in 1997 and 2008 respectively.
